Anyway, what I think would be a fabulous idea (assume it's not already done) is if at least one of the courses could set aside a morning each week just for beginners. That way, everyone is understanding and patient. I know tee times can be hard to get, but afterall, they did sell us the place based on "free" golf, right, and one morning a week, on one course, shouldn't be too much to ask. Where's the suggestion box????

I contacted someone on the VCCD website and emailed them this message...
I was searching for a suggestion box but could not find one. I am fairly new to the villages and I am a beginner golfer. The $225 fee for golf lessons may be worth it but it's not in my budget. I have been in conversations with people on "The Talk of the Villages" and I am to find out that there are a few (and probably many more) beginner golfers out here. A suggestion would be to have one morning at a fairly easy golf course set aside for beginners only. This way it won't interfere with more advanced golfers. I would be nice if there was a volunteer experienced golfer to be one of the foursome to give some direction of the do's and don'ts on a golf course.
THE REPLY WAS: Hi Frank; The best I can do is give you this Ph# and tell you these are the people you need to talk to. Sorry Keith
